Dellenger described Brady as "the wunderkind guru who left LSU to take the offensive coordinator job with the Carolina Panthers."

Dellenger then wrote:

This is a point of contention in Baton Rouge. Orgeron expected Brady to remain on staff. The 30-year-old had even signed a memorandum of agreement, a document binding him to a contract with the school. But it also included a clause allowing him to leave for a college head coaching job or the pro ranks. A day after the national championship win over Clemson, Orgeron learned of Brady’s departure while on the 90-minute bus ride from the championship site, New Orleans, to Baton Rouge. “I found out from somebody else that it was going on,” Orgeron says in an interview in his office in March.

Brady joined the LSU football coaching staff ahead of the 2019-20 season as the passing game coordinator and receivers coach. He initially signed a three-year contract.

The most revealing parts of the paragraph are Orgeron's reactions. He "expected Brady to remain on staff," and Orgeron said of Brady leaving, "I found out from somebody else that it was going on."

It's quite a contrast from how the story describes Orgeron handling Dave Aranda departing as LSU defensive coordinator in January to become head coach at Baylor. It says, "Orgeron had in place a plan" for Aranda's departure.
